Last week on January 24, she had another Twitter chat with the theme being romance! You can read the transcript here or if you only want to read the ones relating to Bloodlines and Sydney/Adrian, I have those all here.
Yesterday, Richelle Mead had her final Twitter chat! The theme was Bloodlines. Read the transcript here. Not all questions had to be about Bloodlines though, so here are the compiled questions and answers about Bloodlines from the chat:
General
Q: Who restored Lee?
A: That's an answer no one in the series knows yet.
Q: Do you think this series will surpass Vampire Academy?
A: I think it will be just as powerful but in a different way since it's a different love story. BIG things are coming
Q: Have you created any characters that were meant to be minor but turned out to be really important to the plot?
A: Yes--Abe and Malachi Wolfe took on lives of their own!
Q: What inspired you to start Bloodlines?
A: I knew I'd want to continue the Moroi world but would need a break from Rose, so I created Jill & Sydney in VA.
Q: Who's your favorite bloodlines character, and why?
A: Sydney and Adrian tie because they're my two leads.
Q: Will there be more Eddie because I just love him.
A: Eddie is in all the Bloodlines books and does some super badass things in #4, The Fiery Heart.
Q: Would you ever consider doing a book 3.5 to tell a back story to a side character that is in the Bloodlines series?
A: After Bloodlines, I'll probably do another spin-off series, so yes, it's very possible!
Q: Would you want Bloodlines to become a movie one day?
A: Yes, it'd be great to see Adrian and Sydney come to life! :)
Q: Do you know at the moment how many pages The Fiery Heart will have?
A: It's probably going to be very close to Indigo in length, but I don't know the pages offhand.
Q: Will I have to read through my tears like I did with the last scene of The Golden Lily?
A: Indigo will make you say "MUST READ THE NEXT BOOK NOW!" Fiery Heart will make you say: "DAMN YOU, RICHELLE!"
Q: Will we see Malachi Wolf again in any future books?
A: Oh, yes. He even has his own Twitter account @MalachiWofle
Q: Being shadow-kissed seemed to have had a huge toll on Rose. What about Jill?
A: Yes, but the bond is still new for her. Rose's got worse over time.
Q: Are we gonna read more about Lissa and Jill relationship?? I would love to see them as friends and real sisters.
A: We'll see them communicate more near the end of the Bloodlines series.
Q: Will we see more of Janine and Tasha in the series?
A: Janine for sure.
Q: What significance do the morning glories on the TIS cover have? You mentioned they had meaning. Or is the answer spoilery?
A: They have a small reference in TIS. You'll see when you read it.
Q: When is Fiery Heart out? Need it now!
A: Fall 2013, no official date yet.
Q: Did you ever write a scene that had you laughing out loud? If so, which scene?
A: Anything w/Malachi Wolfe.
Q: Will Jill ever be in danger? I keep waiting for her to be attacked, lol.
A: Heh, good point. Everyone else seems to be in a lot more danger than her, the alleged target! :)
Q: Why and how was Angeline approved to protect Jill in PS? What did her parents say?
A: The Alchemists recruited her, and her parents didn't mind. She wouldn't have listened anyway if they did.

A: Rose, Adrian, and Sydney are the most fun, but I love side guys like Abe and Malachi too.

A: The folks at @PenguinTeenAus picked and cast them and did a good job.
Q: Will Angeline being getting into any more problems?Will she be semi- Rose? She going to grow in Rose kind of way?
A: Problems seem to follow Angeline around!
Adrian
Q: Will there ever be a way to cure spirit darkness?
A: Adrian experiments with some ways in The Fiery Heart.

A: Haha, good memory. It's Adrian's. :)
Q: What's been the most difficult thing about writing in Adrian's pov in TFH?

R: Yes, especially since he has other romantic interests now. :)
Sydney

A: Keep reading!

A: She hasn't yet, but she would talk about it if it came up.
